We are looking to appoint people who are looking for a flexible professional opportunity with high quality training and support to join our team. Whilst clerking or governance experience isn’t essential, excellent interpersonal and organisational skills with a commitment to learning and an ability to work on your own initiative whilst establishing yourself as an integral member of a team are key qualities we are looking for. Successful candidates will be allocated a local governing board to support but may also be asked to clerk ad-hoc meetings for other local governing boards when a need arises.

The role is flexible and some non-term time working may be required. The successful candidate will be required to work from home, although there will be a need to attend meetings in school and at the Trust offices based at No.3 College Green, Gloucester and at Hardwicke Parochial Primary Academy on occasion.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to influence and develop local governance practice within the academy sector. A high-quality induction programme is available, and you will report directly to, and be supported by the Trust’s Governance and HR Officer.

This is a part-time post for 8 hours per meeting. Any additional meetings e.g. panel meetings are paid on a claim basis with your line manager agreement. Attendance at the Trust’s three Clerks’ Forum meetings is required and will be paid. Three x one hour line management meetings plus performance management meetings are also provided and this time is paid.
